ENG vs IRE Pitch Report
Melbourne Cricket Ground, Melbourne recently hosted one of the greatest matches in men’s T20 World Cup history between India and Pakistan. Fast bowlers are really useful at this venue, while spin is not a very strong option.
Though India struggled to chase the 160-run target against Pakistan before reaching the target successfully on the final ball, the last six completed T20Is at this venue had a 100 per cent success rate for the chasing teams. Once again 170-180 can be a good defending total at this venue.
Toss prediction: Win the toss and bowl first.
